● Dr. Helen Fisher’s TEDtalk, “Technology Hasn’t Changed Love Here’s Why”
http://www.ted.com/talks/helen_fisher_technology_hasn_t_changed_love_her
e_s_why,
● Anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher is an acknowledged expert on contemporary
love and relationships (after all, she’s an advisor to the ubiquitous Match.com,
so she has a lot of data to examine!). In her Ted talk, Fisher somewhat
surprisingly claims that love really hasn’t changed much in the age of Tinder,
Plenty of Fish, and assorted other online dating sites. After listening to her
opinions, do you agree or disagree? Is finding love in the age of technology
really different than in your parent’s day, or not so much? Do you think that in
the long run, the way we meet and match today will lead to more satisfying
and lasting relationships? Why or why not?”
